Reacting to Anakin Obi Wan Clone Wars Fan Film Battle of the Heroes 

There were moments from this fight we couldnt see because the movie kept going to yoda vs palpatine as it was happening at the same time. So satisfying seeing some missing moments here.

When a common RU-vidr can make way better Star Wars content than the billion dollar corporation.

Theory should team up with these Clone Wars animators and make his fan films look like this instead. I mean can you imagine his Thrawn series looking like this?!??

Bravo to everyone involved. From the clone war style lightsabers, to Anakin’s CW voice…just perfection.

I would pay good money for the entire movie to be remade this way, with the final episodes of the Clone Wars with Ahsoka added in. That would be the ultimate version of Revenge of the Sith.

Remember that JJ Abrams claimed to be a Starwars fan and even with millions of dollars he could not even come close to this

Why is it that a fan can make something this cool yet Disney can't, Disney is allergic to anything cool.

The story of Anakin Skywalker gets more tragic by the DECADE. Had no idea about the “Padme, help me” line.

It’s amazing how much animation can add onto an already iconic duel

Did anyone else pick up on the change of demeanor from Palpatine?? It’s almost like he was “mad” at Anakin/Vader for losing and in short jeopardizing part of the future he was going to build.

The added look of realization and concern on Obi Wans face when Padme says there is still good in him was a very nice touch. He realized in that moment that his job wasn’t finished.

the way he got the motion blur on the sabers is flawless

That last shot of Obi-Wan’s face with Padmé shows just the start of his inevitable PTSD. Everything happened so fast - from killing Grievous to his clones turning on him through his fight with Anakin and Padmé’s death - it’s just now starting to sink in. Poor guy!

This just goes to show, no matter how far away Disney get's from what we want to see, the fans always come back with amazing things.

Star Wars does belong to the fans. You are a huge part of that fandom and you actually are what got me back into Star Wars. May the Force Be With You.... Always.

The fact that they captured Anakin's heavy saber strikes with "Djem So" so perfectly makes the choreography hit harder ngl

The added and extended choreography in this video that was substituted with the Sidious/Yoda scenes from the movie were absolutely amazing. Watching this duel in one take all on Mustafar without the cuts to Coruscant was spectacular.

It’s sad how just animating the prequel movies to TCW never occurred to Disney. They could be sitting on billions of dollars right there but Disney won’t bother.

I caught the video last night. Loved it! They did the recreation so well that it was so familiar yet, felt so brand new! Seriously, if they could recreate all the prequels in Clone Wars style animation….I’d be amazed.

Goes to show that Star Wars belongs to the fans too. Since they can make incredible animation like this and incredible what if stories like yours.

Why can't Disney just give us a animated Vader series of him hunting Jedi and time between episode 3 and 4??

I'm in few FB groups consistently crying about Theory, saying "he's toxic yada-yada, saying Theory only shits on SW these days, that he is a "bad person"...". None of them have any attention to this project or even knew it existed. Who's the real Star Wars fan there? The way you notice the small details, like the inclusion of a deleted clone wars episode scene, only a real fan and someone who truly loves Star Wars can do that. What we shit on these days is bad excuse of Disney star wars abominations (with exceptions, of course), we praise great things like this fan-made animation made with more love and pure talent than the official Disney product. Theory, keep doing what you're doing and best wishes for the next year and the future. You are one of a kind and we love you! And thank you for bringing attention to this amazing project that would've otherwise been missed by so many!

I’ve been following this team since day one. They started this project a little over 3 years ago and I gotta tell you it was so worth the wait. IT’S PHENOMENAL

I was astounded by the power and depth of this fan edit. The force is strong with this one. 😇

i love how they made subtle changes to emphasize Palpatine’s disappointment in Vader. him not saying anything when finding him on Mustafar, Anakin hanging his head, and Palpatine’s slight head turn away when Vader walks up next to him on the Star Destroyer

Great Job to Hello There and thank you theory for reacting to pure talent.

This is the epitome of what Star Wars fan film is about seeing this when it premiered I had to watch it again to make sure what I saw was real

The people in live chat thinking the voices were AI. Like bro, they’re from the movie and the lego game XD

When you've arguably spent more years of your life, becoming emotionally attached to the animated versions of these characters (over Seasons of television), than the live action versions, this just hits harder. To see an animated Obi-Wan crying, an animated Anakin burn and an animated Padma die, is heart wrenching, more than the movies.

See, this guy made all this himself by hand, no AI, and no stealing someone's face to do so. Inspiring.

This 15 minute fan animation is better than the entire Sequel trilogy

This is truly an example of the Fandom Menace. Fantastic work @HelloThereAnimation! I look forward to seeing more inspired content from them and SWT!

was waiting for this reaction. DISNEY COULD NEVER

Everyone missing Anakin saying “Padme help me…” before he’s encapsulated as Vader in the suit.

Okay now can someone do this to the whole film, or even the original micro series?

The original 2003 animated series still blows me away. I remember being 7 years old seeing that play on tv late at night 😂

I feel like you can feel Hayden’s acting more in this. The agony he’s going through seems so real and you can feel it

why this hit harder than live action LMAOO

He got the voices from the LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga, done really well

Star Wars isn’t dead, Disney Star Wars is dead. George should have gave it to the fans instead of Disney

The people complaining in the live chat replay make me cringe. Like, can't you guys just appreciate this for what it is?

I love that they combined music from the live action and TCW. Absolutely hits.

What astonished me was the Vader rising scene, the quality of that looked even better than the original movie. That's insane.

See, this is what the right amount of passion and creativity that the fans are capable of. Something that a corporation is lacking. And not for nothing theory, If someone gave you an insane amount of money Would you consider animating Heir to the empire Dark force rising and Last command?

This show how good Hayden and Evan were at stunt dueling it’s almost the same speed

now we need an animated version of Revenge of the SIth done in Clone Wars style

George Lucas underestimated the power of the fans! This was the best fan film ever. Better than anything Disney has done by far. Please just review fan films Theory!

24:44, "I never thought it would feel the first time again" . I think you feel that way because it is. Audiences got to see Anakin and Obi-Wan's relationship develop throughout the Clone Wars TV Series, we got to see Anakin and Obi-wan become brothers and to see them fight in the war together time after time and risk their lives for each other. Now they are trying to kill one another is incredibly heartbreaking. We got to see the full arc of Anakin and Obi-wan story in The Clone Wars animated series with this fan film.

The fact that was a FAN animation blows my mind every time. SO GOOD

These animated characters showed so much more emotion. Even behind his mask I could feel all the pain, anguish and sadness he felt. The sadness in Kenobi's eyes watching Anakin hit me in the feels.😢

It really gives an emotional farewell 😢 to the clone war's series and timeline this is an Epic Masterpiece well done 🎉Hello Their 👏 👌👍

Amazing, fans will keep the force strong

I can't believe how GREAT this is. I'm without words.

This is the 4th time I’ve watched this so far and couldn’t wait to watch it with SWT to see his reactions and insight. Your point of view is truly the most organic and informative for me anyway. Thank you for continuing to post content.

I want an extended Revenge of the Sith in animated format now. Some of the motions here look absolutely brilliant with the perfect balance of weight and fluidity in them. Also, the improved cinematography, damn. Love it!

Love how much you support the community, I watch your stuff in phases as a semi-semi-pro starwars fan but it's always refreshing.

It was insanely good! Just shocked at how good this was, it was like watching it for the first time again, thank you for letting me re live that moment

I watched it yesterday and it was amazing. Props to the animator, he’s an OG fan.

13:38 bro is mesmerized, he can't even formulate opinions at this point

This was so sick, and it's so crazy how this is fan made and looks very close to how the show looks, heck i would pay to get ROTS animated and have the clone wars and bad batch scenes in there too with order 66

This portrayed the genius of George Lucas

ALSO I FUCKING LOVE the reference to Ahsoka after the control room scene. Anakin switches to a reverse Juyo grip for just a few second, and its so threatening that Obi-Wan feels he has to jump out onto a girder to disorient Anakin and make him revert to a more familiar style...

I wish the fight in the movie showed the whole fight, but it is understandable that they showed the fight between Yoda vs. Darth Sidious and Obi Wan vs Anakin/Darth vader

They pretty much added small scenes that woulda played out in-between the cuts from other scenes in the movie, they did an amazing job 🔥👏 Also going from the campfire scene to Mustafar really adds a lot more to this already, the choice to have Anakin thinking of that time before the fight showed he was conflicted even here but ultimately decided there was no going back, and now makes me think his reasoning trying to kill Obi-Wan in this situation would be to keep Obi-Wan from having to live and suffer knowing Anakin let him down

This is the second time I’ve watches this on Theory’s channel. And it’s like I’m watching it for the first time. I doubt it’ll ever get old.

I want the whole movie in clone wars animation

I'd love to see these guys do this with Ahsoka episode 5. Seeing all that in Clone Wars animation would be incredible.

This made me cry a little I won't lie I miss Star Wars...

21:00 YUP STILL CRYING😭❤💔 Freak sakes that was so good. I needed to pause.

I have no word's just Amazing ❤🔥🤘

This was so amazing and so beautiful to watch. It felt like I was rewatching this for the first time again. This is Star Wars!!!

I prefer Hayden’s screams of agony and delivery but I still love this animation. It connects it all so well.

HOLY SHIT!!! Gobsmacked. That was fantastic. To see that scene done with the Clone Wars cast made me feel like it genuinely belonged in the series

When I first saw it, I cried. It felt just like it did when I binged all of Star Wars with my dad (Clone Wars and everything in between) in chronological order but amplified with the CW art style. It was amazing ♥️

this is so cool!!! how the hell am i a month late of watching this. props to the guys that made this cause this legit looks like official disney of the actual cw with rots mixed. it’s cool too cause you can hear anakin say “padme help me” as the helmet goes over his face like in the movie.

If we got this. Pray we can please please get en entire shot for shot animated remake of that of revenge of the sith, 4 hour edition with the clone wars episodes. God damn. Give this man a job and some Disney money so we don’t have to wait 20 years.

Why was vader burning somehow more disturbing in animation to me

I saw fan made Anakin Vs Obi-Wan Clone Wars film first thing in the morning. It made my. It even shared it to my dad, brother and uncle. It was that good.

patron loophole super smart. can't carowdfund sw projects? no problem, we'll use our patron funds that came directly from posting content and use that to "indirectly" fund the project. disney/lucasfilm can't do shit, because at that point the funds can be distributed however the creator see's fit.

Fun Fact: Vader at the end was rebels Vader. this fan film isn't only epic but also ties in The Clone Wars with Star Wars Rebels

seeing the short film felt like i was watching rots for the first time. I felt like a kid again.

Imagine someone doing the yoda vs emperor scenes. Edit them together like the movie

The way palpatine was there matches how his clone wars version is

23:40-23:42 If you listen you can hear Anakins faint voice pleading "Padme help me" just before the mask goes down.

I never knew about the ‘Padme Help me’ line. Shivers. Harrowing stuff

YOU CAN HEAR A HEART BEAT AS VADER’S HELMET IS SLOWLY PUT ON HIM!!! IT THEN STOPS UNTIL AFTER VADER BREATHES!!!! YOU ALSO HEAR A FADED HEART BEAT AS PADME SLOWLY DIES!!! I love this detail as it solidifies the theory how Palpatine transferred life from Padme to Anakin/Vader!!!

The circle is now complete, when I left I was but a watcher, now I am the Lore Nerd.

Clone Wars should make a remake of the Revange of the Sith with an entire Season series, that would be awesome.

Money isn’t the issue for Disney, the problem is the lack of passion behind the projects, without it we have script problems thus the characters feel bland.

Theory is right. I love Hayden but I only knew him from the movies. I never saw Clone Wars Anakin that I grew up with fully turn. Here we see our actual hero in the fight and it's devastating. The Anakin voice is my only critique it seems too deep. But other than that this is perfection

I want to see the whole movie animated

Why does it hurt so much more to se Clone Wars Anakin fall?

You know you have it bad when you can quote everything they’re about to say. 😂😂😂

I wish they would make an animated version of each movie.

This. Was. AMAZING! Kudos to all involved in the making of this animated short! Bravo, and Brava!

seeing clone wars anakin with sith eyes just hits different. i also like the little detail of palpatine looking mad when he finds anakin burned instead of worried like he was in the movies, because palpatine was genuinely upset with anakin for losing to obi wan

3 years and its finally here!!

I just had a cool idea when there both fighting on the table. What if Qui Gon manifested and confronted them both

It's absolutely stunning. Now compare this to the Acolyte .This fan production is a million times better

It hits harder because we didn't jump back and forth to Yoda and Palpatine
